Actually, the 5.5 tonne truck should drive on the middle lane and not the fast lane! If in Australia he may subject to fine heavily if accident happened just like this one! Because, the modern heavy vehicles (including 5.5 tonnes light truck but excluding the 2 tonnes van) are powerful and fast but still difficult to stop effectively to a distance at high speed which will become the death trap to other smaller vehicles!
In Hong Kong you can see a lot of heavy vehicles drivers drove on the middle lane and over taking in the fast lane or exceed speed limit in the slow lane! The worst potential killer machine worster than M4 and AK74.
